Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost

Since you are reading this document, you are probably an adult. By now you know where you have gone in life, and your may even know what you will do in the future. You'll either continue in the same path - whether by inertia or by choice - or you'll make an enlightened choice about your future.

However, this was not always the case. When you were young, it is unlikely that you thought about where you would go. If you had thought about your plans for life when you were a young adult, would you have done things in the same way?

At this stage, you may consider some other options that you could have taken over the course of your life. In hindsight, you are likely to agree that it would have been useful and important for you to have had a plan for your life.

Well, can you do it or can't you?

Two of the sections in this website may seem to be contradictory.

One section says that there are many times in which you should give up on things when you see that they are not doable. The current section that you are reading tells what you will and can accomplish, ways of encouraging youself to accomplish things, and how to pass on these accomplishments to your children.

What is the general direction of this website?

Clearly, each of these directives and goals is desirable, and each one has its own place. Sometimes you should push yourself, and sometimes you should not waste time on things that you're not going to be able to accomplish anyhow.

The rest of the website demonstrates which path to take in varying circumstances.

Where do you want to go now?
